    My Runner has worms😬

    Hi all, my 5 month old girl laid this soft egg today. I took a photo and then swept it up but then noticed on the photo what potentially could be a worm? Does anyone think it is? Do the worms appear in eggs or just in poop? First time bird Mom! Thanks in advance.

    Ducks laying soft eggs...

    Hi all, I hatched a drake and a girl on 1st May 2020. The eggs were sold to me as white crested Pekin but are definitely crossed. My girl is a honey coloured Buff cross I suspect. Just under 2 weeks ago my girl started laying once a day. I didn’t expect it to be so regularly right away and I...

    Duck Identification

    Interesting! So do you think I could have been sent a pure Buff Orpington egg then? For the buff girl anyway. Thanks for your input!

    Duck Identification

    Hi all, please let me start by saying I adore my babies and I actually don’t care if they’re alligators to be totally honest, I love them the same no matter what! But I’d love to know your thoughts and here’s why.... I bought white crested hatching eggs. They were totally white eggs. When they...

    Thank you, when they’re a bit bigger I might give it a go. Play it on the cautious side to begin with and see how they go.

    When do ducklings start quacking?

    My 2 week old white pekin has started making a different noise inbetween the usual peeps which sounds a bit like a honk! It’s deeper than a peep but obviously still quite high. Is this going to develop into a quack? Or is this duckling a mistaken goose? Haha! The other duckling doesn’t make...

    The ULTIMATE list of DUCK Treats and Supplements...

    Hi all, my ducklings are only 2 weeks old so I’m only going to be giving age appropriate treats for now anyway. But my dog has dried sprats for treats and it got me wondering - when they are fully grown - do you think dried sprats would also be suitable for them? Has anyone fed dried sprats to...

    Eggtopsy Help Please (graphic photos)

    Thank you so much for your reply and I have a little consolation now in the fact that it probably wasn’t something I did wrong. It’s so sad to watch one develop to the end and not hatch, but I am so grateful I got 2 out of the 6. They are little fuzzy balls of joy! Hoping to add some more...

    Duckling vomiting???

    Thank you, feels like a lucky escape. Could have been much worse by the sounds of it! Eek! Will certainly make me more paranoid about what’s in my garden, especially when they start adventuring out there on their own.

    Duckling vomiting???

    Yes! I noticed that lots of brassicas are not recommended and yet I see so many people recommending cabbage and kale as treats. Very confusing! Thanks again for the advice, I really appreciate it. What a lovely community of people this is, honestly feel so blessed to have found you all!
